LIVE-GS: Online LiDAR-Inertial-Visual State Estimation and Globally Consistent Mapping with 3D Gaussian Splatting

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2507.23273v2 Announce Type: replace-cross While 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) enabled photorealistic mapping, its integration into SLAM has largely followed traditional camera-centric pipelines. As a result, they inherit well-known weaknesses such as high computational load, failure in texture-poor or illumination-varying environments, and limited operational range, particularly for RGB-D setups. On the other hand, LiDAR emerges as a robust alternative, but its integration with 3DGS
